“Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” – Plato
This is a pretty good summary of what practicing an open mind actually means, in more concrete terms. Pretty much how I look at it, but it’s still worth the time to pass on to others.
“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”
One of those lines that seem so obvious you almost want to snort at it. However, this is one line that is woefully misunderstood, or perhaps not reflected upon enough, by a lot of people.
It’s as simple as this; the only thing that can bring about change is change. Sounds like one of those Chinese puzzles, but it’s all really simple. Causality is at the core of this, in that you can’t create an effect without a cause that trigger it. If you believe that living your life like you always have, if you stick with it, will change it to something better, you need to think again. Changing yourself changes your life; you are yourself the cause to bring about the desired effects in your life.

Awesome song from the album “Never Better” by P.O.S. I know sharing it might get me in trouble, but I’ll take that risk so that other people might like it and go out there and buy the album.
